Patient Reviews
May 28, 2019
My experience with practice is great over last 6 years. I had gastric bypass five years ago with a good surgeon (who has since moved out of this practice) but his thoughts were to leave the gall bladder as long as it was healthy. Zhitnikov's thoughts differ from that for gastric bypass. Why? Future access. Mine had recently become suspect to concern and I went back in to the practice and met with Zhitnikov and we found that I had a large stone and multiple granules. The speed at which he fit me in immediately to stave off a more complex surgery being necessary should any of those granules had moved out of the gall was amazing. As soon as we knew what my risks were-we jointly looked at my business travel schedule against his surgery days and his vacation and he fit me in on day he typically only has office hours to accommodate us both and the earliest timing. He also drew a detailed diagram of what I was facing if those granules had moved. He was thorough, speedy, caring, and skilled.
